To provide an opportunity for the most competitive play possible for the highest-level teams within US Youth Soccer Region III to aid in the development of the US Youth Soccer players.

The US Youth Soccer Region III Premier League provides an opportunity for the most competitive teams in Region III to play each other on a scheduled basis. The league will be comprised of boys and girls in the age groups of U-14 through U-18. Each National State Association (NSA) decides what will be the criteria for selecting teams to be considered for inclusion in the upcoming Premier League season. While we are starting a new Regionwide league across Region III, the East Sub-Region league will be extremely competitive.  Each state has their own nomination criteria, and the East Sub-Region Committee will compare teams for selection to the league.  Typically, the teams selected for the Sub-Region League are of the quality that they are the prior years PL champion in an age group, the state cup finalist(s) or the champion of an instate league. Each NSA is invited to present at least two (2) teams in each age group/gender. Games are scheduled in the fall or the spring, depending on local customs in a sub-region or state.
